Chapter 440 Dragon-slaying Techniques
Maocao was in a strange mood.
She initially thought that the person who came might be a powerful apostle, a hero, or a prophet, or a talented person from the Yao clan who was outstanding in some aspects. In this way, the development of the new world could be better implemented.
But the person in front of him is the assistant appointed by Lord Yaoshen.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Neko. I'm Xiaozhi, and I'll be your assistant this time, cooperating with your mission and work."
The small orc, who was carrying a small bag and looked like a cross between a cat and a bear, smiled sweetly.
It pulled the shoulder strap of its backpack and looked around: "This is the world where the Sleepless Civilization lives. It is such a bright place, much brighter than the Abyss."
The Totoro next to the cat grass whispered, "This guy is very powerful. I didn't expect that it was a cursed insect."
"Thanks for the compliment."
The wise insect grinned and said, "It is a great pleasure to see a rare chinchilla."
"Although I cannot generate faith and the fire of faith due to my racial characteristics, I have shed blood for Lord Yao in the abyss and have made contributions to the Yao clan. I am more determined than many guys who have offered the fire of faith. Please rest assured that I am a genuine one of us."
"...Let me tell you about the situation here first."
Maocao also quickly got into the mood and talked about the general situation of the Resurrection Kingdom and the next plan.
…
When the wise insect first received the order, its first reaction was uneasiness.
Very uneasy.
The Yao clan has many talented people. There are two apostles in Sifang City alone, the experienced leader of the Evil Legion Haizhe, and rising stars with outstanding strength like the Blackhearted Duke.
But the gods specifically asked an outsider like me to travel far away and participate in the development of a new world through cooperation among the gods.
Isabel came over in person to inform and explained the reasons in detail.
"This mission is special. Those who possess the flame of faith in the gods will be rejected and unable to enter that world."
"You know that the Yao clan does not value bloodline, nor do they believe in sweet talk, but time will prove everything."
The young apostle wearing a wizard hat spoke in a gentle voice: "Last time I proved my loyalty, this time, it will be your chance to prove your ability."
"Even among the numerous Yao clans, you are unique. You are the first member of the Curse Clan to be accepted. In the Abyss, you witnessed and participated in the growth of the Four Kingdoms. A hundred years later, you still maintain your original thirst for knowledge and humility."
Isabel stared at it. "There's no one better than you."
"You are a person of fire that will not burn. You are a pioneer who breaks free from inherent constraints. You not only represent yourself, but also the wisdom and courage of the four countries in the abyss."
"God Yao chose you because he recognized your ability. Show your talent and wisdom to the gods and everyone. We are waiting for your good news."
In this way, Zhichong packed his backpack and arrived at the [Western Paradise] accompanied by Isabel.
In the Liuli Country of the Western Paradise, the wise insects attracted the attention of people from all walks of life. Even in the Western Paradise, the mantra insects were still a rare species that was not easy to see.
The one who came to meet them was Apia, the apostle sent by the cooperating god.
Arriving in this world called the Resurrection Kingdom, Xiaozhi remained cautious and low-key. He spent most of his time with the Apostle Cat Grass, or reading various records left by the kingdom.
It envied the rapid progress that the kingdom had made in the past hundred years.
In the abyss, this is simply impossible.
The wise insect was also confused by the strange system of the Resurrection Kingdom.
It was clearly a vassal civilization controlled by the messenger of the gods, but it went further and further astray, and now it has become a place where Cat Grass leads the temple to supervise the king.
In this regard, the Martyr God who controls this world not only has no dissatisfaction, but strongly supports it through various means.
It took Xiaozhi quite some time to figure it out.
The key point is that cat grass really changed the kingdom from being lifeless at the beginning to being full of fighting spirit. She made even the most ordinary white-bone ancestors believe that they were working for themselves and making the world better and better.
The common people also enjoyed the fruits of their labor. This positive feedback further brought them confidence and courage, allowing the entire country to prosper.
When it comes to the level of governance of the country and the city, Maocao is not as good as Botu and others.
But the greatest significance of cat grass here is that it ignites hope.
When civilians encountered difficulties and disasters, Mao Cao would stand up and speak and petition for them, and try to find ways to solve their problems, which often offended local apostles and kings.
In the past, civilians were civilians. They only needed to focus on their work and did not need to speak or have any opinions.
The king is the king, commanding all the ancestors of the bones, and the king has absolute power of life and death over every citizen.
Today the situation is completely different.
A commoner might be elected as the next king, or the king might cause a lot of public resentment and be deposed, and more people would get the precious opportunity to rise.
The kingdom no longer belongs only to the king, but also to every commoner.
Xiaozhi curiously asked Totoro: "How did Ms. Cat Grass come up with this idea? This idea is really wonderful! It is just right to put it in the Resurrection Kingdom. It brings hope to these white-bone ancestors and allows the king and the common people to check and balance each other."
"Of course it's for the benefit of Lord Yaoshen."
The chinchilla opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and touched its whiskers with its claws: "Mao Cao is a die-hard fan of Lord Yaoshen. She is the type who will fight for it desperately even if there is only a little chance."
"To Maocao, every civilian here is a potential subject of Lord Yaoshen, and can bring population and faith to Lord Yaoshen. Therefore, infringing on the rights and future of the civilians here is something she cannot tolerate. Hehehe."
Xiaozhi was in awe.
It thought it was loyal and hardworking enough, participating in wars and actively learning various knowledge.
Now it seems that there are still diligent people among the diligent.
No wonder Maocao was promoted from a prophet to an apostle... She even served as the spokesperson of the God Yao, overseeing the operation of a civilization here.
This was something that no other apostle had experienced.
"But, as you can see, her tough and argumentative style has caused a lot of trouble. The civilians here are extremely supportive of her and have even regarded her as a spiritual leader, haha."
The chinchilla opened its paws and supported its body only with its tail, playing the game of tumbler.
“No matter what the advantages are, they will become disadvantages at some point. This is how the world is.”
It looked at the wise insect: "So your characteristics make you the most suitable person here. It sounds strange that there is no believer of the fire of faith, but... can we trust you?"
There was a sly glint in Totoro's eyes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Of course! Loyalty!"
Xiaozhi said firmly.
…
After three years of preparation, Xiaozhi had a clear understanding of everything about the Resurrection Kingdom. At this time, the preliminary preparations were also completed.
Cat Grass gave Xiaozhi a list.
On the list were a group of skeleton ancestors who had not ignited the fire of faith, mainly because of their low intelligence. These skeleton soldiers were good executors, but unfortunately they did not have the ability to think.
What Xiaozhi has to do is to train them so that they can meet the standards of soldiers in the abyss as much as possible. Fortunately, the Bone Ancestors are excellent executors. They have difficulty thinking and creating, but they are very determined to follow the orders.
The most important moment has finally arrived.
The world of the Sleepless Civilization began to border the New World, a place called [Kinopolis].
It is said that that world once belonged to a powerful god.
He has many faces, appearing in countless worlds. He is the Roarer, the One on the Mountain, the Guardian of the Scales, and the Judge of the Dead...
Although the old gods have long since fallen, this kingdom of God still has the seals and rules left by him: believers in God cannot set foot here, and gods cannot spy on it.
But in this ancient world where believers are forbidden to enter, there are traces of divinity.
Xiaozhi's mission is to lead the soldiers to find this divine power and bring it back quickly.
No one is better suited for this mission.
Because the Curse Clan neither has the fire of faith nor can they use the divine power.
However, when Xiaozhi led the team through the ancient and desolate maroon hills of [Kinopolis] and stepped into the city's towering and grotesque huge gate, he found a twisted corpse on the ground.
The body was holding a box tightly before it died.
Xiaozhi opened the box in the mummy's hand, and inside was a glittering stone.
A godhead.
Absolutely true Godhead.
The wise insect played with the treasure in his hand and fell silent.
It identified and observed it again and again, confirming that it was indeed the divine being.
Is the mission accomplished just like that?
It was a little confused for a moment. All the difficulties and psychological preparations that it had imagined before seemed to have turned into a thick cotton-padded jacket on a sunny day, or like punching the air with all its might, with a faint melancholy.
Now here comes the question.
Should he go back and report, or continue to explore? The wise insect was faced with a difficult choice.
Just then, it suddenly realized that something was wrong.
All the surrounding skeleton soldiers disappeared.
An arrogant and wild laugh sounded in the air.
"Well done, well done, ha ha ha..."
The wise insect was perked up after hearing this.
Just right.
This is the normal process! I said, something must have gone wrong before.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the wise insect's mouth.
In order to deal with hypothetical dangers, it has been preparing and practicing for two and a half years, and has already designed various ways of escape in its mind... Now it finally has the opportunity to display its dragon-slaying skills.
